November Done

This was my inpsiration for the november colours - it is a polymer clay face that I made a while ago and my first attempt at encasing a face with beads. A friend and I followed instructions to make the polymer clay canes, but as we only had blue, yellow and white the colours are quite strong. I have a mould which makes the faces hence the one that I have used on the November piece.

I felt that my patchwork man was turning into a woman and after I attached the face she looked a little lost and not quite frazzled enough for the November month. I added two colours of drop beads so it looks like her hair is standing on end.
Hope you enjoy this young lady, with her bounce in her step. I have still not named her but I am sure if she hangs on my design wall she will be named soon.

She looks like a "baby angel" to me... I don't see the frazzeled so much as a "let's go play" attitude and a sweetness. I love the background fabric with the bees. Yummmm! I hope you'll post her name when you've decided. Robin A.

I love the material. I have made a bag out of the same material which i will post pictures of. The material comes from a San Francisco furniture makers factory, courtesy of my sister-in-law. This trip I got some wonderful pale blue silk scraps.

I like her - she's so cute. Doesn't look frazzled at all just very playful. Can't wait to hear her name.

Yes it does remind me of a small angel. Very sweet piece! Nice work.

I like how the beading around the face turned out. Well done! :)
